Chapter 236 The Injured Maid

Felissa had agreed with Vincent that she would go to the countryside once every five days to check on the maids. The five days passed quickly, and Felissa got on the grain truck like last time.

After arriving at the destination, Felissa quietly went to the edge of the field without alerting others, hiding behind a big tree and quietly watching the maids working.

The scene was the same as when she left before. Everyone was working hard in the fields, but work efficiency seemed to have improved a little.

She felt relieved. Although she had been worried about whether they would do something drastic on the way there, now that she thought about what she could do in five days, she was afraid that she would not have time to prepare.

Felissa was startled when she turned around and wanted to walk out from behind the tree. At some point, the village chief stood silently behind her, watching Felissa's every move with a pair of eyes.

.

Felissa was so frightened that she clung to the tree trunk, and she didn't recover until she saw who it was.

She cleared her throat and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me about?"

The village chief stretched out an arm to guide Felissa to follow him. Felissa hesitated for a while and finally followed him.

The village chief just took Felissa to a farmer's house. It seemed that he had something to say to Felissa.

"I heard Master Azarez say that what I said to you last time caused you a lot of trouble, and I'm sorry about that."

The village chief's words were to make the relationship between him and Azarez clear in front of Felissa. This was also a kind of goodwill in advance, telling Felissa that the two of us were on the same side.

Felissa shook her head: "No, on the contrary, I am very grateful to you. You pointed out things that I had never thought of before."

"Then I hope you won't be too surprised by what happens next," the village chief seemed to be relieved. He looked at Felissa and said, "Two days ago, Miss Ji tried to escape, but ended up running into a trap.

I suffered a lot of damage during the struggle."

Felicia was startled: "They are so fast..."

She originally thought it would not be so fast, but now that she thought about it, there were indeed fewer people in the field, but she just thought that the missing people had gone to do other things, and she never thought that they were injured.

But the inside story of the injury was just as the village chief said, was he injured during the struggle? Felissa did not completely believe the village chief. Ever since she knew that the village chief and the people on the abandoned road were the same kind of people, Felissa had doubts about his words.

There is instinctive distrust.

"I want to see them."

"Okay." The village chief didn't stop Felissa, or he just gave Felissa a vaccination in advance so that she wouldn't get too excited when she saw someone getting hurt.

The maids still lived in the big warehouse, and Felissa gently opened the iron door of the warehouse.

This warehouse has the appearance of being lived in. They have surrounded an area as a kitchen, but judging from the traces, it is estimated that the most they can do is stew vegetables in a pot and bake some fruits. In this kind of environment, oil fume is a big problem.

, so they dug holes in the wall, blocked them with wooden boards when not in use, and used magic to drive away the oil fumes... Anyway, that's what Felissa did at home.

The bed seemed a little messy. The maids probably didn't have the habit of folding quilts. Because the bottom was made of straw, some of the beds looked slanted.

Generally speaking, commoners must be very accustomed to living in such an environment, but for former nobles, it must be a lot of hardship to adapt.

Felissa walked towards the occupied bed, which should be the injured people mentioned by the village chief. There were two of them, which was not a large number.

She stood beside the bed and looked at the sleeping person. Perhaps because of the injury, the girl's face looked very pale. Even though she was asleep, it could be seen that she was not sleeping peacefully. There was something terrible in her dream.

Things bothered her, and she kept mumbling and begging someone not to do something.

Another girl is also haunted by nightmares.

How pitiful, Felissa sighed in her heart, but at this moment she was completely unable to feel any sympathy for them.

Why are they running? If they don't run, nothing will happen and they won't be hurt. Why do they want to escape so much? Do they know that there is no room for them anywhere else but here?

Suddenly, the girl on the bed opened her eyes. Perhaps she was still awake from the nightmare. When she saw someone standing beside the bed, she burst out screaming and quickly covered herself with the quilt. The body under the quilt was visible to the naked eye.

The ground is shaking.

It seemed that she had frightened someone. The screams woke up the girl in the other bed, but she did not react so violently. Although she curled up to the foot of the bed in an instant, she gradually relaxed after seeing the person clearly.

.

"I'll go out first and let her get out of the quilt." Felissa nodded to the girl who woke up, then turned and walked out of the warehouse, closing the door.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside and Felissa walked in.

Both girls looked a little unnatural, maybe they were a little uncomfortable because they had seen their ugly side, but Felissa cared about that and gently asked them if they were seriously injured and if they had asked a pharmacist to take a look.

"We didn't ask for a pharmacist." The girl shook her head weakly. "Someone can use light magic. The treatment has already been done. All that's left is to rest."

Felissa had been injured, and she knew how uncomfortable it was to lie on the bed. Although the wound no longer bleeds, there is still a feeling of pain, which always makes people think that the wound has opened again.

"Why," Felissa finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "why did you run away? You can be free if you endure it for a while." Besides, they were not asked to do anything, just farm work.

At least that's the case for now, Felissa can't think of a reason why they want to escape.

The weak girl's emotions suddenly became excited, and she growled in a low voice: "Patience? Endure for what? Endure those untouchables who keep us in captivity like domestic animals? It is our kindness not to kill them. Do you know how we were injured?"

There are traps everywhere on our way out, they just want to trap us here."

So, is this what they were thinking? Felicia didn't know what to say. She obviously wanted to escape and triggered the trap, but she blamed the person who set the trap. Felicia couldn't understand.

"You guys have a good rest." Felissa had no intention of talking to them more, nor did she intend to reveal the fact that they were no longer nobles, because it was impossible to explain it. They were still stuck in the dreams of the past and were reluctant to let go.

To come out, maybe the reality is too cruel for them, and they would rather pretend that they are still noble ladies.

This was already a sign of hysteria, but Felissa could not change them.
